Fire In Your Eyes

Just a song I wrote

 

I’m a pebble in an ocean;
no one’s noticing my devotion.
I’m feeling suffocated.
In this world, I’m so frustrated.
Just lay your eyes on me,
for once in your life.
Just lay your eyes on me,
and watch me wanna die.

Just bring me back to life!
There’s a fire in your eyes
that I can’t let go, oh no I can’t...
So please God, save me now.
Don’t want to die, don’t want to drown.
Just take my hand, please pull me up.
Bring me back to life.
Please God, end my strife.
Don’t leave me, here!

(Break)

Do we really have to go away?
Do we really have to leave today?
I don’t wanna go, but I just can’t stay!
Can’t you see?
(x2)

Bring me back to life!
There’s a fire in my eyes
that you can’t even see.
Just undo these ties,
Oh, and then I’ll leave you be.
Just bring me back to life!

Don’t leave me in the dark.

We have a fire to start now in your eyes..

 

You can’t make me let go,

So please pull me up.

You can’t make me lose hope,

So just help me cope.

Just help me cope…

 

(Break)

 

The fire in your eyes,

It’s my north star.

Giving me direction, it’ll take me far.

Bring me back to life.

Just bring me closer!

Help me up from the dark,

And bring me back to life.

I can see the fire…

The fire in your eyes!

Author's Note

I love to sing, and lately, my poems have turned into songs.
I used to be so bad at writing songs, but now I think I'm at least okay at writing songs.

Nice flow of words. I wish I could write music. I like the flow and the repetition gave the poem life and strength. Thank you for the excellent poem.

You're definitely doing great! For me, it really is hard writing songs since you have to make it sound like it's a, well, song. :)) It must flow smoothly and not feel forced. As for the message of the poem, it's kind of repetitive and not really moving forward, but I guess a really meaningful bridge can easily solve that problem. So I think you did a pretty good job on this. Continue working into being a lyricist. You've got potential. :)
